Presentation :

Who knows the Rhône department? However, this territory conceals many treasures and among them, vineyards in magnificent and sloping landscapes, worked by independent winegrowers eager to discover their living environment, their profession and their philosophy. From the ten Beaujolais crus to the Coteaux-du-Lyonnais (including the AOP Beaujolais and Beaujolais-Villages), 25 women and men take up climatic and societal challenges every day to offer us wines, most of which come from a single red grape variety, Gamay noir with white juice, but of remarkable diversity.

These winegrowers open their estate to the curious visitor and show them their favorites: hiking trails, villages of the Golden Stones, festivals and other places where it is good to taste wines and specialties, the Rhône extends its arms to you! These meetings, transcribed by the alert and ardent pen of Idelette Fritsch, are magnificently put into images by Emmanuel Perrin. Both knew how to get the best out of the winegrowers in their world.
